Milan vs PSG live: latest updates
Immediately the visitors fire the ball long, get some early possession in the opponent's area. It's dealt with well enough from the Milan defenders and cleared away.
Peeeep! We're off.
Milan playing left to right as we look on, PSG get the ball rolling.

Who is Jésus Gil Manzano, the referee for Milan vs PSG in the Champions League 2023/24?
It has been just over a week since arguably the biggest rivalry in club football took place, Barcelona and Real Madrid going head-to-head, and the high pressured atmosphere was put in the decision-making hands of a certain Jésus Gil Manzano.
Now he gets the chance to keep the peace and order in the San Siro.
Chaaaaampiiiooooonnnss
There we have it, the song, the fluttering starred ball blanket, and the teams lined up.
It must be about time to get this game going...
AC Milan vs PSG: starting teams
As the players prepare to exit the tunnel onto the pitch, a reminder of the starting XIs:
Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Leao, Giroud
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha; Dembélé, Mbappé, Kolo Muani
Donnarumbled
Familiar setting this for the PSG goalkeeper. 24-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma played 215 games for AC Milan between 2015 and 2021.
Let's see what type of reaction the Italian gets from the home fans.

Group F: how it stands
That Dortmund win puts them above PSG ahead of our Milan encounter. With only six points up for grabs after tonight, the Italians know the importance of a win if they have hopes of making it into the knock-out stages again.

Group F update: Dortmund beat Newcastle
Right, so the other game in this group has just finished and it was a fairly routine home victory for the Germans. Goals from Füllkrug (25') and Brandt (78') sent the Premier League side packing.
Walking the tighrope
OK, so it's not a crunch knock-out match so the metaphorical 'tightrope' of being suspended with a booking in this Game is rather low to the ground and with a sizeable net surrounding it, but, just so you know, the following players would miss the next match if they were to see yellow:
Milan: Krunic and Musah
PSG: Hakimi and Dembélé
Of course, depending on how things are looking in the second half, a tactical foul, needless ball kick away, or tug of a player's shirt, may come in handy to clear the decks.

Mbappé and the rest
It's been a remarkable run of late for PSG. Since their 4-1 embarrassment in Newcastle in Matchday 2 of the Champions League group, they have played five, won five and scored three goals in each of them. The latest of these came on Friday with the league win over Montpellier.
One thing that is obvious from the scorers list, though, is that the bulk of the goals come via one man, Kylian Mbappé. You may have hear of him.
(You're probably wondering where all these lovely graphics come from. Say thanks to our pals over at sofascore)
Goals needed from Milan
A 1-0 loss at the weekend at home to Udinese was far from ideal preparation for Stefano Pioli and his players. And other than the 2-2 draw away to Napoli the week before, you have to go back to September 30 since the team last scored more than one in a game. And there were four drawing of blanks in that period.
Giroud is the man leading the line but he'll need his midfield to chip in, with many stateside hoping for a good showing from Captain America.
Starting XI: PSG
No surprise to see another strong line-up from Luis Enrique as he looks to secure this group as early as possible. Most eyes will be on Mbappé to see if he can continue on his scoring spree.
The full starting XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha; Dembélé, Mbappé, Kolo Muani
Starting XI: AC Milan
As we had expected, a front line of Leao, Giroud and Pulisic will attempt to get the goals tally going for Milan.
The full starting XI: Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Leao, Giroud
Team news is incoming... First up, the home side.
PSG in Milan
The French club's social media team appear in the mood to have some fun and have pulled together this lovely montage for your enjoyment.
Picture perfect in Milan
Isn't that a lovely sketch? Although surely the social media team will be hoping for a more victorious evening rather than just a share of the spoils.
'Pencil-ling our way to glory'
'Picturing a win'
'Lead-ing at the end of the night'
So many pun options available...

Paris Saint-Germain vs AC Milan summary: Mbappé, score, goals & highlights | Champions League
Last time out in Paris between these two sides, it was rather one-sided. Goals from Kylian Mbappé, Randal Kolo Muani and a late one from Lee Kang-In put PSG in the Group F driving seat.
Here's how our Will saw it.
Milan vs PSG: head-to-head
I mentioned before that the Italians have really struggled of late to get the opposition's onion bag filled. Three games into the UCL and not once have they managed it... despite a very respectable 16 shots per game on average.
Will they be more clinical tonight? Who's most likely to get on the scoresheet? We'll consider their options shortly.
Becks and Henry
David Beckham and Thierry Henry are VIP guests with us tonight. It would appear that their seats at the San Siro are slightly more comfortable than mine.
How things stand in Group F
The French champions finished the halfway point in the group in decent position, with important wins over Dortmund and Milan.
For tonight's hosts, a win is surely a must if they are to reach the knockout stages. But with no wins thus far, no goals scored, and a 0-3 reverse just two weeks ago in Paris, it's a big ask.

Champions League: Matchday 4
Tucked away in that list is our big game focus but as you can see there are a number of pretty tasty fixtures on.
The early KO between Dortmund and Newcastle will have a bearing on how followers of Milan and PSG feel later this evening.

Serious clash between PSG and Milan fans leaves one victim stabbed and hospitalized
Before I get into the sporting aspect of the Game, there was some troubling news earlier as fans of both teams clashed in the streets of Milan. It was reported that one person was stabbed and taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Madness!

Welcome to Milan!
The Champions League is back! To be fair, it's only been away for a couple of weeks, but by golly we missed it and guess you did too. There have already been some early kick-offs - I'll bring you an update on those shortly - but here we will be concentrating on AC Milan vs Paris Saint-Germain.
